Which of the following actions should you take if you decide to sell a firearm in California?

  1. Arrange the sale through a licensed firearm dealer

  2. Sell directly to another individual, no paperwork required

  3. Post it online and ship it to the buyer

  4. Hand it over to the police

The correct answer is: Arrange the sale through a licensed firearm dealer

Selling a firearm directly to another individual without going through a licensed firearm dealer is illegal in California. This also means that selling through online platforms and shipping the firearm to the buyer is not allowed. Handing it over to the police is not a necessary step when selling a firearm. By choosing option A and arranging the sale through a licensed firearm dealer, the buyer will need to go through a background check and complete the necessary paperwork to ensure the transfer is legal. This is the proper and legal way to sell a firearm in California.
